US TFR is 1.74 and below the replacement level of 2.1. It has plummeted rapidly over the past decade. American fertility dropped for briefly in the 1970s. So three things are important here: 1) why is this important, 2) what is the cause, and 3) how do we fix this?
Why is this important - It is disgusting that I need to say why this is important. It is disgusting that there are Malthusians who accept the lie of overpopulation even right here on Freerepublic. The primacy of reproduction is seen in God’s command to go forth and multiply. For the pagan scientists reading this it is seen in Darwin’s rules. For those who just want a strong America they must surely know that demography is destiny - nations who don’t reproduce will die off. This death may not be rapid but will instead be a slow drop in geopolitical power until such time that other nations begin to dictate what America does and it becomes essentially a vassal of some foreign power.
What is the cause - The cause is cultural. In the 1970s it was Paul Ehrlich who popularized overpopulation theories throughout the western world. These theories have been fully debunked but not before abortion was partially justified by overpopulation. Now the cultural cause is a narcissistic youth who promote faggotry and other gender bending theories.
What is the fix - Americans obey their party’s leader. So the GOP leader must emphasize the importance of increasing our birth rate. The bully pulpit is one way. The other is policy proposals. For example, shift the tax burden slightly away from families and toward single income earners. The government needs to stop funding many things, but in particular, birth control and abortion funding needs to be eliminated. The other disgusting practice that must be stopped is the government preferentially supporting women’s education. No federal program should exist that gives money to women who want a post secondary education as these women need to be barefoot and pregnant.
To my fellow Freepers - please push this key item of the Impimp agenda as it is at the top of my manifesto. I would love to hear your ideas about how we can help achieve this how the goal of a growing and prospering America may be achieved through filling the wombs of American women.
I think more young men are willing to marry than are young women. But the women ignore them, so the men turn to video games and porn.
Wow, what a simple-minded statement. Was this written by an American or a European or an Asian?
Oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills were approved by the FDA on June 23, 1960.
Interestingly the sexual revolution also hit in the 60’s. Coincidence? Don’t think so.
Then abortion in the 1970’s.
And we are surprised the birth rate is dropping?
Do you deny that Americans obey their party’s leader? I can’t believe you think that is controversial. Do I have to waste space adding nuance to keep you happy by saying “most” Americans obey their party’s leader?
And Hungary hasn’t been successful so far. France has been only slightly more successful with similar pro-Natalist policies.
Only Dems obey their party leader. We Republicans don’t. Or else we would have all voted for Jeb Bush in 2016. We are much more independent minded than Dems. And Dem leaders are not likely to tell Americans to have more babies.
All part of the plan to destroy the nuclear family. Without a strong father figure in their lives, we see what has become of so many young females today. They have completed rejected their heritage for the bizarre and wierd. The more bizarre it is the more enticing. They even reject their own offspring at abortion mills / baby body part markets.
You are right about Dems being more loyal to their leader…but I think of when Trump said America First and build the wall and many Republicans shifted away from loving open borders.
Why do you think both parties are allowing so many illegal aliens into this country? They are replacing us at an alarming rate.
Yes
Easy - corporate interests will never allow the American population to drop. They will always allow in immigrants to offset the barrenness of American women.
Don’t know why but this has been going on every since
1492 after Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Remember
who were the inhabitants in those days? Habitation
changes over time. Seems like one bunch of inhabitants
can’t block the incoming changes.
Yes, it is true. If the number of workers were to level off then wages would rise and THAT CAN NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.
That would be an affirmative, and sadly that would be a permanent condition for both males & females who received a “vaccine” injection , from the studies I have seen.
Extend the Amish Social Security exemption to all families who give birth to 4 or more children. Upon the fourth child, and if the family opts out, refund all SS taxes paid into the program, and exempt the family from future taxes and benefits. It’s up to the parents to raise healthy, productive citizens to insure their golden years go smoothly. It works. The average Amish couple raise 6 happy children.
This is the third rail and I am glad you brought it up. Social security programs to help seniors is one of the reasons people don’t have kids - why have kids to take care of you in your old age when the government can do it.
It cracks me up that this thread is full of comments about women.
Men must turn their hearts towards toward their children. When men want to be fathers and hold that standard up to other men and boys as the epitome of true manhood, then families will be formed.
Where men actually lead, women follow. This mess we are in now is where men led. Feminism was rooted in the soil of the Playboy and GQ philosophy of carnality and materialism.
You cannot fullfill the desires of the flesh and the spirit at the same time. Marriage and family is fundamentally a spiritual undertaking. It’s gonna take another Great Awakening to reverse the current trend.
Why must men turn their hearts toward their children? Have men turned their hearts toward their children for thousands of years? No. Men can can focus on responsibility and duty and sacrifice…but men needing to turn their heart toward their children sounds like a pile of nonsense that it is completely unrelated to the problem. In fact, many men claim to have turned their heart toward their children as they facilitate gender reassignment for their kids.
Correct. We’ve committed cultural suicide; the third-world is our future as a nation. The few ‘elite’ will live in the most beautiful, defensible, places.
